Scarred — текст песни (Dream Theater)

- john petrucci



To rise, to fall.

To hurt, to hate.

To want, to wait.

To heal, to save.



Cant hear it

We fear it

Awareness wont come near it



Distractive

Reactive

Disguised in spite of time



I never bared my emotion

My passion always strong

I never lost my devotion

But somewhere fate went wrong



Cant let them rape me again

Your venoms not family here

Wont let them fill me with

Fatalistic remedies



What if the rest of the world

Was hopelessly blinded by fear?

Where would my sanctity live?

Suddenly nobody cares.



Its never enough

Youre wasting your time

Isnt there something I could say?

You dont understand

Youre closing me out

How can we live our lives this way?



You tell me Im wrong

Im risking my life

Still, I have nothing in return

I show you my hands

You dont see the scars

Maybe youll leave me here to burn.



What if the rest of the world

Was hopelessly drowning in vain?

Where would our self pity run?

Suddenly everyone cares.



Blood...heal me

Fear...change me

Belief will always save me

Blood...swearing

Fear...staring

Conviction made aware



Give up on misery

Turn your back on dissent

Leave their distrust behind

Wash your hands of regret



Do you feel you dont know me anymore?

And do you feel Im afraid of your love?

And how come you dont want me asking?

And how come my hearts not invited?

You say you want everyone happy

Well, were not laughing.



And how come you dont understand me?

And how come I dont understand you?

Thirty years say were in this together

So open your eyes.



People in prayer for me

Everyone there for me

Sometimes I feel I should face this alone

My soul exposed

It calms me to know that I wont



Blood...heal me

Fear...change me

Belief will always save me

Blood...swearing

Fear...staring

Conviction made aware



Give up on misery

Turn your back on dissent

Leave their distrust behind

Wash your hands of regret



Blood...heal me

Fear...change me

Belief will always save me

Blood...swearing

Fear...staring

Conviction made aware



Learning from misery

Staring back at dissent

Leaving distrust behind

Im inspired and content
